<ceylon-module-descriptor> Ant task

Usage

Note: You must declare the tasks with a <typedef>.

To retrieve the name, version and license information from the sources for module com.example.foo and exposing them as ant properties:

<target name="descriptor" depends="ceylon-ant-taskdefs">
  <ceylon-module-descriptor
        src="src"
        module="com.example.foo"
        name="modulename"
        version="moduleversion"
        license="modulelicense"
  />
  <echo message="Name ${modulename}" />
  <echo message="Version ${moduleversion}" />
  <echo message="License ${modulelicense}" />
</target>

Description

The <ceylon-module-descriptor> ant task supports retrieving the name, version and license from a module descriptor and making them available as properties for the ant build file. If no name is given for the different properties that can be retrieved then that particular attribute from the descriptor will not be available to the build script.

Parameters

Note: In contrast to almost all other Ceylon ant tasks this one does not support any of the "common" attributes as listed on the main tool page.
